"Normally, you''re beautiful, but you''re even more beautiful like this, to the point where I can''t take my eyes off you." While saying this, Ivor stared straight into Bonnie''s eyes, his gaze filled with deep affection.


    Bonnie awkwardly shifted her gaze away, and a blush spread across her cheeks. "I don''t want to hear your smooth-talk anymore," she said.


    Ivor was about to say something when the phone in his pocket vibrated.


    He took out his phone and nced at it. It was a message from Alfred.


    “Mr. Ivor, everything is ready. You can bring Ms. Bonnie over now.”


    After reading it, Ivor put the phone back, took Bonnie''s hand, and headed toward the hall. "Let''s go to the front hall."


    Bonnie turned her head to ask him, "Is everything ready?"


    "Yes, it''s all set, but the timing was a bit rushed. I don''t know if it will be surprising enough for you."


    Ivor''s voice contained a hint of nervousness. It was clear that he was trying his best to make things perfect, but the time constraints were challenging.


    "My standards aren''t that high," Bonnie said, looping her arm through Ivor''s. "The garden full of roses you nted for me was already enough to surprise me."


    "No, it''s not enough," Ivor said as they arrived at the front gate, seeming even more nervous than Bonnie. He took a deep breath. "Are you ready, honey?"


    Bonnieughed. "What''s there to prepare for? Are you going to scare me?"


    "Whether it''s a surprise or a scare, it''s up to you to decide. But I wouldn''t prepare a scare for you," Ivor said, pushing the gate open with force.


    A burst of light flooded Bonnie''s eyes. It took her a moment to adjust to the sudden brightness, and she instinctively raised her hand to shield her eyes. After a few seconds, she slowly lowered her hand.


    What she saw made her serene eyes ripple with emotion.


    The entire vi was covered in colorful lights, and various delicate ornaments were ced in every corner, making it look like a dreamy and beautiful castle. Bonnie loved these peculiar little ornaments, and seeing so many of them all at once made her smile uncontrobly.


    She walked over, picked up one of the ornaments from the table, and yed with it lovingly.


    Seeing her smile, Ivor smiled, too. "I knew you''d like these. Every time I went on a business trip abroad or to a ce you hadn''t been to, I''d take the time to collect these little things. It''s taken me until now to gather so many. Do you like them?"Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    There was no need to ask. He already had his answer from Bonnie''s smile, but he still wanted to hear Bonnie''s evaluation of the gift he had prepared for her.


    "I love them," Bonnie said casually, but each item she picked up touched her heart deeply. It was evident how much effort Ivor had put into preparing this gift for her.


    "Good to hear. It wasn''t in vain for me to collect them for so long." Ivor said as he walked over and gently wrapped his arm around Bonnie''s shoulder. "Come on, let''s go see what''s in the dining room."


    Bonnie raised an eyebrow yfully. "Another surprise?"


    "It''s not exactly a surprise. You''ll see when you get there," Ivor said, holding Bonnie''s hand as they walked toward the dining room.


    Just as they reached the entrance, they heard a "click" as the lights were turned off, leaving only the candles on the table burning gently, casting a dim and intimate light.
